[China Sinks] A Blade Well-Wielded, A Youth Unbetrayed

Draw your blade and strike in one swift blow, and do not betray the vigor of your youth. Let the blood of our old friends not flow in vain; turn it into the Milky Way and wash the land of China clean! A prompt story for a girl in my group chat. The prompt was: "Rise to the high tower and ring the dawn bell; I refuse to believe the ears of all mankind are deaf." (I was reckless enough to come up with this prompt! Writing it made me want to die!) This is fanfiction based on The Sinking of China, a series of novels written by Bai Luyuan, the protagonist of Teacher Yanmiannian's A Man Who Posts a Marriage Ad in a Pirated Novel Is Asking for Trouble. I dedicate this story to Teacher Yanmiannian, who has retired from writing. And also to the young man who died in prison. Even in death, I have no regrets: a prompt story for my dear friend.
